@AlfaOmega one possible option is this server intended mod 3340272701
@wishm@ster they are not craftable. read the description. Use the stated mod "Craftable Tech Components"

hello! How to build Tech components ?
AlfaOmega Nov 14, 2024 @ 7:05am 
Nice Key_J, thx a lot bro.Try

@AlfaOmega
My friends and I used this mod, and after the release of the Prototech DLC, we had to make some balance adjustments to strengthen the Prototech blocks.
I’ve published the mod in the workshop in case anyone else might find it useful.
AlfaOmega Nov 8, 2024 @ 8:42pm 
Hi, any planing update for Protoech?
Horatio Oct 24, 2024 @ 7:28pm 
I'd be happy to help you maintain this mod. I've created a companion mod "Tiered Tech Modules" that can be seen here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2930203613 I've already made some BlockVariantGroups (g-menu) improvements that fix some issues with the core mod, but it would be better to roll them into the main one. Feel free to send me a message if you'd like!
AlfaOmega Oct 17, 2024 @ 8:58pm 
Hi, pls tell me, any update with Prototech Tier system or?
springy150 Oct 15, 2024 @ 5:23am 
love the mod will there be a new block update with this?

Love this mod. Being able to upgrade ships through tiered blocks has given our playthroughs some longevity!

Grinders on subgrids are not able to grind the main grid anymore. This used to be possible at one point, since I've used it to remove merge blocks and connectors from self-constructing drills, etc. Is this change intentional or not?
G.Admiral_Telcar Sep 13, 2024 @ 5:09pm 
If anybody abuses this let me know and ill change it to private.

I will be releasing a public tiered tech armor mod. Im only using the components from tiered tech. If you have a issue with this please let me know and ill just create new components. If I make the other changes I mentioned, it would be private for my server only.

The discord channel(s) for this game is the most active place for modding, G.Admiral. If you haven't yet and you use discord (I don't) do check the modding channel out. You'll get the help you need there, if you need help. This seems to be the link for the main Discord channel: https://discord.com/invite/keenswh
G.Admiral_Telcar Aug 12, 2024 @ 10:28pm 
Ill do it myself, thanks for the feedback.
G.Admiral_Telcar Aug 1, 2024 @ 3:03pm 
I can use modded ore detectors and spotlights there already there. Possible make the armor myself, plus I just found a mod the other day with different types of armor just haven't tested it yet. Not sure how that will tie into Progression through. I can restrict access to the assemblers all together until you get the first tiered tech assembler. This will achieve my idea but its not the same and as polished.
G.Admiral_Telcar Aug 1, 2024 @ 2:51pm 
I apologize for not clarifying. I want just the range doubled nothing else, so for large grid ore detector the default detection range is 150m. I would want it changed to 300m, same for the spotlights, Just the block edits that I mentioned nothing else, nothing with economy or space credits. I've already did all that's it done, server is built and running. I'm just adding details and testing updates. I'm visually impaired and fixing a lot of the stuff I've had issues with and had to over come, because for some people that can take a lot of the fun away. You don't need any prior knowledge and there's no learning curve. Hoping that will draw new players, SE players a set in there ways and have found were they play.
Jack Schitt Aug 1, 2024 @ 2:17am 
You want things doubled...how, G.Admiral_Telcar? Physical size or power input and output?
Economy servers are scarce because they don't last. There really isn't anything we can do with Space Credits.
G.Admiral_Telcar Jul 31, 2024 @ 10:01pm 
I'm building a server with features for visually impaired players. I love the longevity of this mod. Would one of yall be interested in making a revision of this for my server. I just want the base tier of the ore detector and spots/searchlights doubled and so on for there tiers. A tier 3 and tier 4 set of armor blocks, light and heavy being tier 1-2(those don't need any change). I also want tools, Equipment, and weapons removed from all assemblers, where you can only build components and ammo. The server is economy based ore is extremely scares, this way visually impaired don't have to look for ore and only those that want to mine ore can and for everybody else everything in game is available at the lobby or other admin stations. I thought about trying to use the heavy armor as a base and making the tiers but I'm a hardware guy me and software only go so far. There's mods for the rest but they break the progression of this mod. Doesn't have to be exclusive to my server.

Hi, I have a request. I want to put this mod on my own server, but I want to set a limit on the number of blocks there. But in order to enter it, I would need to know the names of these blocks. As they are named in
inside fashion. Could I ask you for the names? Thank you
Jack Schitt Mar 2, 2024 @ 4:15pm 
The description says we can also make components available to players through events. How do we do that? I asked this question in the Customizing / Configuration topic of the discussions here , too. Probably a better place to answer in the topic instead of here in the comments where it'll get buried if you know how to do this. Thanks!

So, having used this on several MP servers now.. Is it possible to tweak the Elite SafeZone to actually use the Conv network to fill up on Zone Chips? More due to stations open to the public requiring regular visits when if there's 6000 Chips in a cargo on the grid.

As Sadaukai wrote - If you're making a private/unlisted mod feel free to go ahead :)
Sardaukai Dec 18, 2023 @ 2:41am 
I am not the owner, but I use this mod as template too.

No extra permission required if the mod is unlisted / hidden and you add a link back to the original in the description.

So simply change visibility and write a link to this mod for the owner

hello! i have made a local mod that overrides and changes the tiered tech components resource requirements. unfortunately, it seems that unless i copy your textures over they will appear without icons. i wanted to ask permission to use your tech component icons, as well to upload the overwrite files so a friend can use them in our world.
Sadragos  [author] Nov 18, 2023 @ 1:15am 
@Sadaukai Yeah: The refineries are tiered. If I'd add tiered modules you'd have refineries with insane speeds and yields - with an elite refinery with only yield you already get more ingots than you put in ore (ie iron is something like 1 ore => 1.8 ingots) which i really dislike.

@Art3mis They're open source and available in my github: https://github.com/Sadragos/se-tools/tree/master/img/Overlays
Sadragos  [author] Nov 18, 2023 @ 1:15am 
@Rizzo No SFX are changed. Maybe Keen updated the configs, but last time I checked everything seemed to work for me

@DRAKCORE they are, in fact, buffed, but only a little. Too large radiuses heavily impact performance of the game, thats why I did not increase it more.

@ShadowNinja Yeah, go ahead - see notice at the bottom of the description ;)

@Nerevar I don't know where you got these numbers, but they seem not to be correct - the values were all calculated the same way. You can chack the values here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14hLLvhF2oVzO1EIZHHXmrlTfVTLQ1cb4-OL7TH3pd_U/edit#gid=0
Art3mis Nov 17, 2023 @ 10:53pm 
Hey, would it be possible to get the chvrons you use to make the icons?
Sardaukai Oct 17, 2023 @ 8:51am 
Great mod! Just a question,
Is there a game-mechanical reason why there are no speed / yield modules tiered?
Nerevar Oct 13, 2023 @ 6:05pm 
Genuine question but how did you evaluate the upgraded performance of the blocks?

Like the power difference between the the base vanilla ion thruster (small for a small ship) versus the tier 4 equivalent in the mod is only an increase of 39.24%, which is... really low. For a small atmospheric thruster for smalls ships, the different between tier 1 and 4 is 108.69% in improvement, so around 2.5x better than the ion performance gain.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding but the gains seems disproportional between some block tiers and also, like in the case for ion thrusters, very very marginal.
xXShadowNinjaXx Oct 12, 2023 @ 1:35am 
Hello, would it be okay for me to modify/ rebalance this mod for my server?
DRAKCORE Sep 22, 2023 @ 2:55pm 
Have you ever considered to allow changing the vanilla / tier 0 block values, like the other tiers?
Generally I always beef up the drills, ore detectors and spot lights for vanilla.
Rizzo Sep 17, 2023 @ 1:05pm 
Does this mod change any SFX? After the last update all of our thrusters (atmo and hydrogen) are not producing sounds and I am curious if that is something that Keen did or if it is a missing configuration in the mod. Please advise.

I found the error, it's on lines 543 to 545 of BlockVariantGroups.sbc

Assemblers from this mod are also unable to produce character guns, or accept guns into the assembler to be disassembled. Needs an update!
N0Taqua //// Sep 7, 2023 @ 11:27am 
Assemblers from this mod are not able to produce Bottles as of last night. 9/7/2023

Update possible?
TigersFangs Sep 6, 2023 @ 1:01pm 
@Sadragos Thank you for the update on this! Any news of updates to the Tiered Weapons and Craftable Tech mods?
xELITEBLACKx Sep 5, 2023 @ 6:36am 
Thanks for the update i absolutely love this mod
Rizzo Sep 3, 2023 @ 10:43am 
Thanks for the fresh updates with Deco#3 and fixing the groupings!
Cronyx Sep 3, 2023 @ 10:04am 
This looks really, really great.
I wonder if there's any plans to make an Industrial Overhaul version? :3
Sadragos  [author] Sep 3, 2023 @ 7:15am 
The Mod now support the new decorative DLC 3.

@Baron Thanks for the offer! I saw it halfway through my work though, since I rarely check the steam notifications...
Casimir Sep 2, 2023 @ 10:35pm 
Please cleanup the mod dir. You have lots of files in there that don't need to be
Baron Sep 2, 2023 @ 12:07pm 
@Sadragos I just finished adding the thrusters, and the new solar panels and wind turbine to a local copy. Want me to send them over to save you the trouble?
Sadragos  [author] Sep 2, 2023 @ 11:15am 
I'll start work on the new DLC tomorrow - got to set up the dev tools first.
Orisek Sep 2, 2023 @ 8:35am 
Please add the wind turbine and solar panels from the new update 1.203
Thank you
xELITEBLACKx Sep 2, 2023 @ 6:58am 
Hoping to see added new thrusters from recent update <3
